The classical reading
21 reduces to 3, Jupiter's number, which the classical table names The Crown of the Magi. Inside it 2 is Moon and 1 is Sun, with Jupiter behind the pair as the reduced digit. On the surface a 3 name behaves as any 3 does: earns from what it knows and loses time proving it knows more. Practitioners read it as a good total for a business name; it is slow, and sure once it arrives. A name that reaches 21 by one or two edits is worth the change; Name Variants shows which respellings land on it.

Reading the compound and the digit together
- The compound is read before the digit is, and the digit is read as character rather than fate.
- Two names on the same digit differ by compound; 23 is not 41 and 18 is not 27.
- A compound is a planetary pairing: 19 is the Sun with Mars, 18 the Sun with Saturn in mutual enmity.
- 13, 14, 16 and 19 are the karmic totals; they are read unreduced.
- The nearest good compound beats the ideal one: a one-letter edit to 37 is worth more than a rebrand to 23, because the goodwill of the old name is kept.
